			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5452" title="finding dulcinea" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/finding-dulcinea.gif" alt="" width="159" height="86" /></a>Taking after Don Quijote, <a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/">Finding Dulcinea </a>is a site that evaluates millions of website and offers you only the best, and most trustworthy ones. The site offers over 300 web guides covering a vast array of topics, information on the news that goes beyond headlines, and entertainment on the web.</p>
<p>I looked through their web guides for Latin American studies. Here I found links to Latin American Journals and Research, Academic Programs, and links to a couple research collections. There aren&#8217;t hundreds and hundreds of links under every heading, and that&#8217;s exactly the point, to only see a few quality results.</p>
<p>Another great thing about this site is that it functions in several languages!

<p>P.S. (3:00pm) &#8211; Mark Moran (Founder &amp; CEO of Dulcinea Media) just let me know that their section titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/news.topic__ss_categories_ss_on-this-day.html">On this Day</a>&#8221; is also available in Spanish under the title of &#8220;<a href="http://www.encontrandodulcinea.com/articulos.html?topic=/categorias/Hoy-en-la-Historia">Hoy en la Historia</a>.&#8221; And Finding Dulcinea can also be found on Facebook; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/findingDulcineacom/9844132329?v=wall">here is their page so you can join them</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5461" title="findingDulcinea2" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/findingDulcinea2.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="144" /></a>Tomando después de Don Quijote, <a href="http://www.encontrandodulcinea.com/inicio.html">Encontrando Dulcinea</a> es un sitio que evalúa millones de página web y le ofrece sólo los mejores sitios y de mayor confianza. El sitio ofrece más de 300 guías de la red que cubren una amplia gama de temas, información sobre la noticia de que va más allá de los titulares, y lo mejore en entretenimiento en la web.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Estuve mirando a través de sus guías web sobre estudios latinoamericanos. Encontré enlaces a revistas sobre América Latina e Investigación, Programas Académicos, y enlaces a un par colecciones de investigación. No hay cientos y cientos de enlaces bajo cada tema y eso es exactamente el punto, la idea es ver sólo algunos resultados de calidad.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡Otro aspecto maravilloso de este sitio es que funciona en varios idiomas! Todo el sitio está disponible en español e <a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/">inglés</a>, y muchas de las guías web también están disponibles en <a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/guides/Foreign-Language/Chinese.html">chino</a> y  <a href="http://www.findingdulcinea.com/guides/Foreign-Language/Russian/Guide-to-Web-Search.html">ruso</a>!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Sorprendentemente, Buscando a Dulcinea esta impulsado por seres humanos, no la tecnología más, o algún algoritmo de búsqueda. La gente del sitio se hacen llamar el &#8220;bibliotecario del Internet&#8221; y como un buen bibliotecario se centran en información de calidad.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La gente detrás de Buscando Dulcinea también manejan <a href="http://www.sweetsearch.com/">Sweet Search</a> y <a href="http://2day.sweetsearch.com/">SweetSearch2Day</a>. Sweet Search es un motor de búsqueda; bueno en realidad son varios motores de búsqueda guiados a ciertos públicos. Hay uno para <a href="http://www.sweetsearch.com/schoollibrarians">bibliotecarios escolares</a>, uno <a href="http://www.sweetsearch.com/biographies">centrado en las biografías</a>, y uno <a href="http://www.sweetsearch.com/socialstudies">sobre las Ciencias Sociales</a>, entre otros. <a href="http://2day.sweetsearch.com/">Sweet Search 2 Day</a> tiene por objeto ofrecerle un resumen diario de la mejor de la web.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Todos estos sitios son magnificos. ¡Écheles un vistazo! </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/photos/worlds-first-airport-library-schiphols-bibliotheek/3360538/#3360539"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5351" title="bibliotheek3" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/bibliotheek3.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="391" /></a></p>
<p>Amsterdam’s <a href="http://www.schiphol.com/">Schiphol Airport</a> has opened the doors to the world&#8217;s first permanent <a href="http://www.airportlibrary.nl/">airport library</a>! What a great idea! Airports can often be such boring places, specially when your flight is delayed, so what better way to pass the time than to curl up with a good book or movie?</p>
<p>The library will not actually loan out material, but instead will offer comfortable places to read, listen to music, and watch movies, and has a &#8220;download&#8221; room where users can download material on to their mobile devices. The library also functions on plain and simple trust. There are no permanent employees, and the only effort to discourage theft is a sticker on the item. Since the library opened very few items have been lost, although some do seem to go on vacation and eventually return. The larger portion of the collection is material in English, but the library includes material in over two dozen languages.</p>
<p>The project is backed by ProBiblio Dutch public library organization with money from the ministry of education, culture and science.</p>
<p>You can read more about this project from an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/arts/16iht-library.html?_r=2&amp;ref=global-home">article in the NYT</a>.</p>
<p>10/16/2010 &#8211; Given the popularity of this post I&#8217;m guessing a lot of us would like our local airport to set up libraries. This is just such a great idea, specially in cities with regular bad weather throughout the year.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡El <a href="http://www.schiphol.com/">Aeropuerto Schiphol</a> de Amsterdam ha abierto las puertas a la primera <a href="http://www.airportlibrary.nl/">biblioteca permanente del mundo en un aeropuerto</a>! ¡Excelente idea! Los aeropuertos a menudo pueden ser lugares super aburrido especialmente cuando nos retrasan los vuelos, así que qué mejor manera de pasar el tiempo que acurrucarse con un buen libro o una película?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La biblioteca realmente no presta el material que tiene, pero si ofrecen lugares cómodos para leer, escuchar música y ver películas, y tiene un sala de “descargas” donde los usuarios pueden descargar material a sus dispositivos móviles. La biblioteca funciona por pura y simple confianza. No hay empleados permanentes y el único esfuerzo para desalentar el robo es un adhesivo sobre los libros. Sin embargo desde que la biblioteca abrió sus puertas muy pocos productos se han perdido, aunque algunos parecen ir de vacaciones y vuelven con el tiempo. La porción más grande de la colección es material en Inglés pero la biblioteca incluye materiales en más de dos docenas de lenguas.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El proyecto está respaldado por la organización neerlandesa de la biblioteca pública ProBiblio  y funciona con dinero del ministerio de educación, la cultura y la ciencia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Puede leer más sobre este proyecto de un <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/arts/16iht-library.html?_r=2&amp;ref=global-home">artículo en el NYT</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">10/16/2010 &#8211; Dada la popularidad de este post supongo que a muchos de nosotros nos gustaría que nuestro aeropuerto también estableciera una biblioteca. Es que es una idea genial, especialmente en ciudades donde regularmente hay mal clima durante el año.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chelmsfordlibrary.org/blog/2008/08/21/language-learning-resources/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5337" title="languages" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/languages.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a>A couple of days ago my friend Liz called with a work related questions; Her employer wants to offer all the employees at this business the opportunity to improve their English, and she wanted suggestions. (I love that all my friends are regularly turning to their librarian friend for all sorts of questions!)</p>
<p>My first thought was her local community college. The community college usually offers a wide range of courses at an affordable price and tend to offer classes during the day and the evening, thus accommodating almost anyone&#8217;s schedule. <a href="http://www.bhcc.mass.edu/midnight-courses">Bunker Hill Community College in Boston has even started offering courses literally in the middle of the night to accommodate even the most demanding schedules</a>. The other advantage of the community college is that you don&#8217;t have to be enrolled in a full program, you can just take a couple courses here and there for life enrichment.</p>
<p>My second though was to take advantage of the resources of her local public library. As far as I can tell, all public libraries in the USA have some language learning material, either to improve your English or to learn another language. These language sections are usually well labeled, but if you can&#8217;t find them, ask the librarian. Many of these courses are tools such as language aids on CDs, videos, and workbooks, and all should circulate.</p>
<p>But this isn&#8217;t all, some public libraries offer language learning software accessible with your public library ID and password from the comfort of your home. The BPL offers me access to <a href="http://www.bpl.org/electronic/language.asp">Powerspeak and Auralog</a>, both programs that will teach me Spanish, French, Mandarin, German, Dutch, and ESOL, all for free and from the comfort of my kitchen table!</p>
<p>And if all this isn&#8217;t enough, go visit your local public library and find their language learning center. Most public libraries have computer terminals loaded with state of the art equipment and software that will help you learn a new language or improve on a language you already know.  Chances are you might even find a group of people who meet at the library to practice a language ; you can join them as well.</p>
<p>Of course, these courses might not be sophisticated enough for some people&#8217;s language needs, but they are an excellent starting point.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace un par de días mi amiga Liz me llamo con una serie de preguntas relacionadas su trabajo; su empleador quiere ofrecerle a todos los empleados de este negocio la oportunidad de mejorar su Inglés, y ella quería sugerencias. (Me encanta que todos mis amigos regularmente llaman a su amiga bibliotecaria para todo tipo de preguntas!)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mi primera idea fue su “community college”. El community college por lo general ofrece una amplia gama de cursos a un precio asequible y tienden a ofrecer clases durante el día y la noche, horario que permite acomodar al horario de casi todos. <a href="http://www.bhcc.mass.edu/midnight-courses">Bunker Hill Community College en Boston  ha comenzado a ofrecer clases literalmente a media noche, logrando acomodar hasta los horarios más exigentes</a>. La otra ventaja del community college es que usted no tiene que estar inscrito en un programa completo, en vez puede tomar un par de cursos aquí y allá como enriquecimiento personal.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mi segunda idea es aprovechar los recursos de su biblioteca pública. Hasta donde me consta, todas las bibliotecas públicas en los EE.UU. tienen algo de material para aprendizaje de idiomas, ya sea para mejorar su inglés o para aprender otro idioma. Estas secciones lingüísticas suelen estar bien demarcadas, pero si no puede encontrarlas, solicite ayuda de un bibliotecario. Muchos de estos cursos son herramientas tales lecciones en CDs, videos y libros, y todos deben circular.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Pero esto no es todo, algunas bibliotecas públicas ofrecen software para aprender idiomas que son accesibles con su numero de la biblioteca pública y la contraseña, y son accesibles desde la comodidad de su hogar. La BPL me ofrece acceso a <a href="http://www.bpl.org/electronic/language.asp">Powerspeak y Auralog</a>, dos programas que me  enseñan español, francés, mandarín, alemán, holandés, e ingles para quienes hablan otros idiomas (ESOL), todos de forma gratuita y desde la comodidad de mi mesa de cocina!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Y si todo esto no es suficiente, vaya a visitar su biblioteca pública y busque su centro de aprendizaje de idiomas. La mayoría de las bibliotecas públicas tienen terminales de computadora cargada con la tecnología y software mas reciente que le ayudarán a aprender un nuevo idioma o mejorar una lengua que ya conoce. Incluso es probable que pueda encontrar un grupo de personas que se reúnen en la biblioteca para practicar un idioma, podría unirseles también.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Por supuesto estos cursos no siempre serán lo suficientemente sofisticados para las necesidades lingüísticas de todos, pero son un excelente punto de partida. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bib3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4997" title="bib3" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bib3.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="460" /></a>At the beginning of the month I was in Montreal and got to visit La Grande Bibliothèque! This library is one of the city&#8217;s largest public libraries, and the collection is part of the <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/accueil/">Library and National Archives of Québec</a>. I presume that since this region of Canada includes a vibrant separatist movement they feel the need to have their own national library and archives.  Politics aside, library holds about 4 millions items, most of which are in French, and 30% in English. This library is one of the most popular libraries in the francophone world, and I when I visited on a Sunday, the place really was full of people.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡A principios del mes estuve en Montreal y pude visitar La Grande Bibliothèque! Esta biblioteca es una de las bibliotecas públicas mas grandes de la ciudad y la colección es parte de la </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/accueil/"><span style="color: #888888;">Biblioteca y Archivos Nacionales de Québec</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">. Supongo que como esta región de Canadá incluye un movimiento separatista vibrante que deben sentir la necesidad de tener su propia biblioteca y archivos nacionales. Política aparte, la biblioteca cuenta con cerca de 4 millones de artículos, la mayoría de los cuales están en francés y 30% en Inglés. Esta biblioteca es una de las colecciones más populares en el mundo de habla francesa, y el domingo que estuve de visita, el lugar realmente estaba lleno de gente.</span></p>
<p>On their website the library breakups their various collections with  brief explanations of what you may expect to find. They have a large  collection covering <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/collection_patrimoniale_quebecoise/index.html">Quebec&#8217;s Heritage</a>, <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/fonds_archives/index.html">archives</a> that date back to the  17th century, <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/genealogie/index.html">resources for genealogical work</a>, <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/cartes_plans/index.html">maps</a>, <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/publications_gouvernementales/index.html">government  publications</a>, and <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/collection_numerique/index.html">material which has been digitized</a>, including an RSS  for the most recent additions to this collection.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En su sitio web de la biblioteca separa sus diversas colecciones con una breve explicación de lo que usted puede encontrar en cada una. Tienen una gran colección que abarca el </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/collection_patrimoniale_quebecoise/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">Patrimonio de Québec</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">, </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/fonds_archives/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">archivos</span></a><span style="color: #888888;"> que se remontan al siglo 17, </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/genealogie/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">recursos para el trabajo de genealogía</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">, </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/cartes_plans/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">mapas</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">, </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/publications_gouvernementales/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">publicaciones gubernamentales</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">, y </span><a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/collections/collection_numerique/index.html"><span style="color: #888888;">material que ha sido digitalizado</span></a><span style="color: #888888;">, incluyendo un RSS para las adiciones más recientes a esta colección.</span></p>
<p>The library also offers many of the usual services you would expect from a  large public library; they have a <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/activites/calendrier/index.html">calendar of events</a> which includes a  number of activities for small children, guided tours of the library in  French or English, computer workshops, and ongoing exhibitions.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La biblioteca también ofrece muchos de los servicios habituales que cabría esperar de una gran biblioteca pública; tienen un <a href="http://www.banq.qc.ca/activites/calendrier/index.html">calendario de eventos</a> que incluye una serie de actividades para los más pequeños, visitas guiadas a la biblioteca en francés o en Inglés, talleres de computación, y  exposiciones en curso.</span></p>

If you use Google search in any of the non-English languages that Google supports you should see a small icon which when clicked on, should pop-up a small keyboard in that language.</p>
<p>There is also a <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHBoYWc3TFdCNm1mLTVVZzVfUWF2cWc6MQ">poll</a> to suggest more languages for use with this tool.</p>
<p>Here is the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/integrating-virtual-keyboards-in-google.html">original announcement</a>, and here are <a href="http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=174990">more detailed instructions</a> on how to use these virtual keyboards.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Google acaba de anunciar una nueva herramienta que nos ayudará a buscar en la web en otros idiomas aparte de inglés. Si usa Google para búsquedas de la web en cualquiera de los idiomas (aparte de inglés)  que Google apoya debería ver un pequeño icono que cuando presionado aparecerá un pequeño teclado en ese idioma.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">También hay una <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHBoYWc3TFdCNm1mLTVVZzVfUWF2cWc6MQ">encuesta</a> para sugerir más idiomas para agregar a los teclados virtuales.</span></p>

Word Translator is an addition to the <a href="http://www.google.com/toolbar/ff/index.html">Google Toolbar</a> which allows you to hover over a word and get an instant translation. This tool will be most helpful when reading material in a language we already have some dominion of and just need that extra bit of help here and there. Word Translator functions in over two <a href="http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=15426">dozen languages</a>.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace un par de días Google <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/more-love-for-our-multilingual-toolbar.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FMKuf+%28Official+Google+Blog%29">anunció</a> que nos han dado una herramienta más para ayudar con  traducciones al instante.  Word Translator (Traductor de Palabras) es una adición al <a href="http://www.google.com/toolbar/ff/index.html">Google Toolbar</a> (barra de herramientas de Google) que le permite flotar sobre una palabra y obtener una traducción inmediata. Esta herramienta será muy útil mientras leemos material en un idioma sobre el cual ya tienen algún dominio y sólo de vez en cuando necesitamos un poco de ayuda adicional. Word Translator funciona en más de <a href="http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=15426">dos docenas de idiomas</a>.</span></p>
